A Little Dare (39 page)

out
into
the
cotton
of
his
shirt.

“That’s
it
baby,
let
go
and
enjoy.”

And
as
another
turbulent
wave
of
pleasure
ripped
through
her
and
she
fought
to
catch
her
breath,
Shelly
let
go
and
enjoyed
every
single
moment
of
what
Dare
was
doing
to
her.

And
she
doubted
that
after
tonight
her
life
would
ever
be
the
same.

“M
om?
Mom?
Are
you
okay?”

Shelly
heard
the
sound
of
AJ’s
voice
as
he
tried
gently
to
shake
her
awake.

“Mom,
wake
up.
Please
say
something.”

She
quickly
opened
her
eyes
when
her
mind
registered
the
panic
in
his
tone.
She
blinked,
feeling
dazed
and

disoriented,
and
tried
to
focus
on
him,
but
at
the
moment
she
felt
completely
wrung
out.
“AJ?
What
are
you
doing
out
of
bed?”

Confusion
appeared
in
his
face.
“Mom,
I’m
supposed
to
be
out
of
bed.
It’s
morning
and
I
have
to
go
to
school
today.

You
forgot
to
wake
me
up.
And
why
did
you
sleep
on
the

sofa
all
night
in
the
same
clothes
you
had
on
yesterday?”

Somehow,
Shelly
found
the
strength
to
sit
up.
She
yawned,
feeling
bone-tired.
“It’s
morning
already?”
The
last
thing
she
remembered
was
having
her
fourth
orgasm
in
Dare’s
arms
and
slumping
against
him
without
any
strength
left
even
to
hold
up
her
head.
He
must
have
brought
her
into
the
house
and
placed
her
on
the
sofa,
thinking
she
would
eventually

come
around
and
go
up
the
stairs.
Instead,
exhausted,

depleted
and
totally
satisfied,
she
had
slept
through
the

night.

“Mom,
are
you
all
right?

She
met
AJ’s
concerned
gaze.
He
had
no
idea
just
how
all
right
she
was.
Dare
had
given
her
just
what
her
body
had

needed.
She
had
forgotten
just
what
an
ace
he
was
with
his
fingers
on
a
certain
part
of
her.
“Yes,
AJ,
I’m
fine.”
She

glanced
at
the
coffee
table
and
noticed
the
book
both
she
and
Dare
had
been
reading
and
considered
it
the
perfect
alibi.
“I
must
have
fallen
asleep
reading.
What
time
is
it?

You
aren’t
late
are
you?”
She
leaned
back
against
the

sofa’s
cushions.
After
a
night
like
last
light,
she
could
curl

up
and
sleep
for
the
entire
day.

“No,
I’m
not
late,
but
you
might
be
if
you
have
to
go
to
work
today.”

Shelly
shook
her
head.
“I
only
have
a
couple
of
patients
I
need
to
see,
and
I
hadn’t
planned
on
going
anywhere
until
around
ten.”
She
decided
not
to
mention
that
she
was
also
having
lunch
with
Dare’s
brothers
today.
She
yawned

again.
“What
would
you
like
for
breakfast?”

He
shrugged.
“I’ll
just
have
a
bowl
of
cereal.
I
met
these
two
guys
at
school
yesterday
and
we’re
meeting
up
to
ride
our
bikes
together.”

Shelly
nodded.
She
hoped
AJ
hadn’t
associated
himself
with
the
wrong
group
again.
“Who
are
these
boys?”

“Morris
Sears
and
Cornelius
Thomas.
And
we’re
going
to
meet
at
Kate’s
Diner
every
morning
for
chocolate
milk.”
As
an
afterthought
he
added.
“And
it’s
free
if
we
let
her
know
we’ve
been
good
in
school.”

Shelly
made
a
mental
note
to
ask
Dare
about
Morris
and
Cornelius
when
she
saw
him
again.
Being
Sheriff
he

probably
knew
if
the
two
were
troublemakers.

“They’re
real
cool
guys
and
they
like
my
bike,”
AJ
went
on
to
say.
“Yesterday
they
told
me
all
about
the
sheriff
and
his
brothers.”
His
eyes
grew
wide.
“Why
didn’t
you
tell
me
that
Thorn
Westmoreland
is
my
uncle?”

“Because
he’s
not.”

At
AJ’s
confused
frown,
Shelly
decided
to
explain.
“Until
you
accept
Dare
as
your
father
you
can’t
claim
any
of
the
Westmorelands
as
your
uncles.”

AJ
glared.
“That
doesn’t
seem
fair.”

“And
why
doesn’t
it?
You’re
the
one
who
doesn’t
want
Dare
knowing
he’s
your
father,
so
how
can
you
tell
anyone
that

Thorn
and
the
others
are
your
uncles
without
explaining
the
connection?
Until
you
decide
differently,
to
the

Westmorelands
you’re
just
another
kid.”

She
stood.
“Now,
I’m
going
upstairs
and
shower
while
you
eat
breakfast.”
